Default How big of a problem is this??

Hey everybody. I was following a noise in my jeep and ran across this ( in the pictures) it is the crankshaft vibration pulley. It seemed to me to be wobbling a bit. Maybe 1mm or so. I could be wrong it could just look like it. Anyways it looks like the inner rubber spacer is falling out.

Ok. Now for all your advice.


And GO....................

It is a big enough problem that you need to go get a new vibration damper and rent/buy a puller immediately. You need to change that thing out before it comes completely loose and/or wears a hole in the timing cover.
